Homework

Ludmilla School provides non-compulsory homework for students using The Homework Grid. This is based on the work of Dr Ian Lillico as described in his book, Homework and the Homework Grid. The idea behind the Homework grid is to broaden the definition of homework to include active involvement in family and community life, as well as encouraging participation in physical activity to combat childhood obesity.

 Activities in the grid are a mixture of sedentary and non sedentary, individual or family pursuits. Any school-related activities have already been taught in class and the homework grid activities are designed for students to practise and consolidate their skills and knowledge.

 If you would like to read more about this approach to homework, you can order and read the book by Dr Ian Lillico: Homework and the Homework Grid at www.boysforward.com.

                     Library

Ludmilla School has a well equipped library and computer lab. The library has a teaching space with an interactive whiteboard, as well as a great selection of books both fiction and non fiction.

Teachers and their classes enjoy  library and computer sessions weekly or twice weekly, for reading sessions, borrowing books, or doing research (also on-line). In order to take a borrowed book home, students must have their teacher’s permission and a cloth bag to protect their book.

The library is open at lunchtimes to students offering an alternative air conditioned space for students to read or play quiet games.
